ABOUT THE PROGRAM

The scope of electrical engineering technology has become very broad as the knowledge
base and applications associated with this discipline continue to expand at an accelerating
pace. The Master of Science degree is offered to meet the needs of individuals who
wish to pursue advanced studies in modern electrical, electronic or computer technologies
in order to fulfill their personal or career goals. There are four principal objectives
to the graduate program in Engineering Technology:

To provide continuing in-depth technical education to individuals who hold an ABET-accredited
baccalaureate degree in Electrical or Computer Engineering or Engineering Technology.

To provide advanced studies in electrical, electronic or computer technologies to
help individuals advance in their chosen careers. These individuals may work as engineers,
engineer/technologists, technical managers, independent consultants, or in similar
professions.

To provide additional technical education to those individuals who desire to teach
at the college, technical school, or high school level.

To provide an opportunity for practicing professionals, who possess an accredited
baccalaureate degree in a related discipline, to shift their career path into the
electrical, electronic or computer fields.

Each graduate student will pursue an individualized course of study within the guidelines
of one of the programs listed below. The student and his/her academic adviser will
identify the graduate courses that will comprise that student's course of study. The
courses will be chosen to:

Meet the student's career goals.
